Scotland is set to regulate the American XL bully dog breed, following England and Wales, after a series of attacks and deaths involving the muscular dog breed. The legislation will make it illegal to own an XL bully, with owners facing criminal records and fines unless their dogs are on an exemption list and comply with strict requirements. The breed has been involved in numerous attacks and deaths, leading to calls for regulation and responsible ownership.

UK to Prohibit American XL Bully Dogs Following Recent Attacks

Britain will ban the American XL Bully dog by the end of the year, following recent fatal attacks. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak believes the breed is a danger to communities and has requested that it be legally defined as a breed, allowing for a ban under the Dangerous Dogs Act. However, many animal experts argue that breed-specific legislation is misguided and that the focus should be on enforcing current regulations and promoting responsible dog ownership. The XL Bully would be the fifth breed to be banned in the UK, joining the pit bull terrier, Japanese toso, dogo Argentino, and fila Brasileiro.
